Two major law firms, Jenner & Block and WilmerHale, are suing the Trump administration over recent executive orders perceived as punitive toward their pro bono work and representation of clients. Jenner & Block claims the orders violate multiple amendments, including the First and Fifth, by limiting their ability to practice law effectively. WilmerHale's lawsuit alleges retaliation for representing the Democratic National Committee and other political figures. The suits challenge the administration's attempts to restrict access to federal resources and undermine the attorney-client relationship, raising serious constitutional concerns about free speech and due process rights.
"For more than 100 years, Jenner has tirelessly advocated for its clients against all adversaries, including against unlawful government action. With this suit, the Firm takes up that charge once again."
"The lawsuit by the Jenner & Block firm alleges violations of the First Amendment guarantees to free speech and free association, essential for the law firm's existence and operation."
